Hey everyone!
Just checked the latest scores and after yesterday's races we are now in 19th place (out of 56 boats)! We scored a 15 and a 14 yesterday (only got two races in because the wind died in the afternoon) but we were pretty happy with how we did overall. We're hoping to move up a few spots with some decent races today, and we still get to drop one race so we're aiming to get in the top 15 by the end of the day.
We've of course been having an incredible time off the water as well-- last night the Canadians and the Belgians served food to the rest of the international teams (pancakes, poutine, and the most delicious waffles we have ever eaten). It's been really fun getting to hang out with all the international teams! We also had the opportunity to meet Anne Zuccarelli, the associate dean for academic programs at the EDHEC Business School, and thank her for their generous donation to the team and for helping us come back this year. Without EDHEC there is no way we would ever have made it to the race and we are so grateful for all their help!
We're pretty worn out and are all either sick or on the verge of being sick--long days sailing, very little sleep, and trying to hang out with as many teams and people as possible before we have to head back to the real world. But it's been so, SO fun and we can't believe it's our last day of racing already!! We're all dreading the end of the night :(
OK, need to head to the boat and get out there, but hopefully the next time we update we will have some good news!
